-

**Field(s) of activity for the internship**
You can choose between the following topics:

**1) Topic 1: Quantum sensing techniques**
Quantum sensing techniques, leveraging innovations like NV centers and cold atoms, are unlocking new frontiers in space exploration. These cutting-edge methods promise to revolutionize our understanding and capabilities in space by:

- Enhance space exploration: Detecting planetary magnetic anomalies to discover ores and make mining in-situ resource possible and enhance navigation for spacecraft and rovers;
- Advancing Scientific Research: Enabling detailed studies of solar wind; studying planets interior by mapping their gravitational field; test fundamental laws of physics.

**Project Goals**:

- **Review the State of the Art**: Assess the latest advancements in quantum sensing techniques within the space environment;
- **Define New Instruments**: Develop potential instruments based on these techniques to achieve the objectives outlined above.

Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool that can revolutionize space science and exploration. In this project, the internship aims to develop AI tools for the following purposes:

- **Image and Data Analysis**: Our AI will analyze large datasets from the VIPGRAN and FOAM ISS experiments. These tools can also be adapted for the data analysis of future missions like Giant Fluctuations and Colloidal Solids;
- **Exploration Applications**: AI will assist in decision-making for robotic payloads and support humans in deep space missions. Additionally, AI can enhance optical communication in planetary missions.

**Behavioural competencies**
Result Orientation
Operational Efficiency
Fostering Cooperation
Relationship Management
Continuous Improvement
Forward Thinking
